Importer recalls 255,000 Chinese-made tires

A tire importer said Thursday it would recall 255,000 Chinese-made tires it claims were defective because they lack a safety feature that prevents tread separation, according to USA Today.

The recall involves half the number of tires that the importer, Foreign Tire Sales, had identified in June as possibly posing a risk.

The models involved are steel-belted radial replacement tires for pickups, vans and sport-utility vehicles that consumers bought from early 2004 through mid-2006, Foreign Tire Sales said.
